Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Wen Zhaoyi Drowned
“Ninth Prince, something bad is going on!” Zhao Changsheng panted.
Yin Xun glanced at him and asked, “What made you so flustered?”
“It’s Wen Zhaoyi” Zhao Chang took a deep breath and said to him, “Wen Zhaoyi is dead!”
Yin Xun frowned and asked, “How did you die?”
“Fall, fall into the water.” Zhao Chang whispered. Seeing that Bai Junzhuo was the only one left and right, he leaned forward and said, “This servant sent someone to investigate the corpse. He said that there were bruises on Wen Zhaoyi’s neck and that his fingernails were covered in mud …”
“There are only bruises on the back of the neck. Is there any in front?” Bai Junzhuo interrupted him and asked.
“Right.” Chief Zhao nodded, “So, Wen Zhaoyi was strangled in the water and drowned!”
Yin Xun nodded and asked, “What other clues do you have?”
Chief Zhao nodded, his expression slightly hesitant as he looked at Bai Junzhuo.
Yin Xun understood and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Go out first.”
Bai Junzhuo knew that there was something they couldn’t let her know, so he nodded and walked out.
After she left, Zhao Chang said, “The eunuch who assassinated Imperial Concubine Shu last time was interrogated. After he confessed to Wen Zhaoyi, this servant removed him. I didn’t expect that the news would leak out and be known by the Empress Dowager. This morning, the Empress Dowager even tested this servant.”
“You suspect that Wen Zhaoyi’s death is related to the Empress Dowager?”
“Imperial Concubine Shu is the Empress Dowager’s family, after all.” Chief Zhao nodded and said, “Imperial Concubine Shu’s actions imply that the Empress Dowager cares about slaughtering chickens and warning monkeys. Let the harem respect Imperial Concubine Shu
“Then why can’t Imperial Concubine Shu send someone to kill Wen Zhaoyi?” Yin Xun asked in a low voice, “After all, none of the women in the harem are simple.”
Zhao Chang was shocked for a moment, then shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t be possible. Imperial Concubine Shu is kind-hearted and knowledgeable. She definitely won’t do these things when His Majesty leaves the palace.”
Yin Xun glanced at him. Zhao Chang had served his royal brother for many years, and his words still carried weight. Since he was protecting Imperial Concubine Shu like this, it proved that Imperial Concubine Shu really had merits. However, she was the daughter of the Fu Clan after all.
Yin Xun did not want to continue talking with him. Instead, he said, “Regardless of what happens to Wen Zhaoyi, don’t make a big deal out of this matter until Royal Brother returns. Tell the Empress Dowager about this matter. Let her decide everything.”
“The Empress Dowager already knew about this matter before His Highness. She even issued a decree to promote Wen Zhaoyi to the rank of Fifth Consort of Virtue. She immediately put away the coffin and prepared for a burial.” “That’s why this servant feels that it’s the Empress Dowager …” Zhao Changsheng whispered.
“Stop talking.” Yin Xun interrupted him and said indifferently, “Eunuch Zhao, you always said that I should be careful when I do things and speak. Have you been too tired lately and spoken so carelessly?”
“This servant deserves to die! This servant is really out of his mind!” Zhao Da Da was shocked and hurriedly slapped himself twice in the mouth.
“Alright, since the empress dowager’s decree has been issued, there is nothing I need to worry about.” Yin Xun waved his hand and said, “You can go down.”
Chief Zhao replied and retreated.

After Bai Junzhuo took a bath, he found that his vision had recovered a little. Now, the people who were close to her could basically see their facial features clearly.
It was already nightfall. She returned to the main hall of the West inner court. Seeing that Lu Kang was also present, she asked, “Lu Kang, did you inquire about anything in the Dali Temple?”
When Lu Kang heard her voice, he was slightly surprised, “Miss Bai, can you see it?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Although I can’t see it clearly, I know you so well. I can tell from your figure.”
“That’s good,” Lu Kang nodded. “I did ask, but …”
“What’s the matter?” Seeing his hesitation, Yin Xun asked.
‘”This subordinate was thinking that those who stole the corpses would have a hard mouth. Should we use torture to scare them? However, they confessed without saying a word during the interrogation, saying that Lord Wei Yuanyao told them to steal the corpses and bury them in the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal,” Lu Kang said. “So, this subordinate feels that they are slandering Lord Wei?”
When Bai Junzhuo heard what he said, he suddenly remembered what the uncle who had given him Wood Spirit Ganoderma had said in the Prince’s Mansion of Jinnan. “He messed up my plan and abandoned my son. I will send someone to deliberately leave a clue for Yin Xun to find him.”
Could it be that Wei Yuanyao was the abandoned child he spoke of?
Thinking of this, Bai Junzhuo met Wei Yuanyao at Taibai Pavilion in the afternoon. His figure was indeed very similar to the person who kidnapped her that day. He could wear a human skin mask and change his appearance, but his figure was hard to change. Bai Junzhuo remembered his figure. She was not mistaken. That person was Wei Yuanyao!
Thinking of this, Bai Junzhuo said, “I don’t think this is slander. The person behind the scenes is Wei Yuanyao.”
Lu Kang was puzzled, “Why is Miss Bai so sure?”
“Because of his figure and the feeling he gave me, the person who kidnapped me that day is not wrong.” Bai Junzhuo said.
“You didn’t even see Lord Wei’s face, so it’s not necessarily a bit rash to say so,” Lu Kang retorted, “Besides, even if he was the one who kidnapped you, he might not be the one who ordered the burial of the corpse.”
“It’s him. It must be him.” Bai Junzhuo said confidently.
Yin Xun was somewhat puzzled. Bai Junzhuo had never been an arbitrary person. She must have some clues to say that Wei Yuanyao had done it. He asked, “Do you know anything?”
Bai Junzhuo inferred more clues from Shen Wujie’s master’s words, but she agreed that Shen Wujie could not tell anyone about this. She shook her head and said, “No. But since he confessed, he should ask Wei Yuanyao to question him no matter what. What if it was him?”
After a moment of silence, Yin Xun said, “Lu Kang, check on Wei Yuanyao.”
“Yes.” Lu Kang accepted.
After he left, Yin Xun ordered people to set the food and eat with Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo could not see clearly. He held his chopsticks and stared at the dishes on the table. One moment, he narrowed his eyes, and the other, he stared at the boss. Looking at what was on the plate, it was like meat, and when she picked it up, it was ginger. It was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue repeatedly.
Yin Xun looked at her and immediately felt that she was even more childish and cute than Yin Zhixuan. He suppressed his laughter and asked her seriously, “Do you want me to feed you?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head and looked at him. “I can do it myself,” he said seriously.
Yin Xun felt that it was more and more funny. He nodded and said to her, “Well, I like your unyielding temperament.”
Bai Jun’s face flushed red as he held the bowl in his hands and shyly said, “Oh, no, you’re flattering me.”
Yin Xun sat beside her, put his arms around her, and whispered to her ear, “I like to see you blush.”
Bai Jun’s face turned even redder than before. He put down his bowl to cover his boiling face and said, “No, I was born with a rosy complexion. It’s not because of you …”
“When someone praises you, your face turns red. You still refuse to admit it.” Yin Xun looked at her playfully and continued, “I’m obviously very happy in my heart, but I still have to refuse a few words, don’t you think?”
Holy shit, I’m happy when someone praises me. Who’s unhappy when they praise me? But as an ancient girl, it’s not good for you to laugh and pat that person’s shoulder when someone praises you. Do you really have a good eye? Still a little reserved.
Always seeing through people and even saying it out loud, Master Yin, can we still be friends?
Therefore, Bai Junzhuo pretended not to hear what he said just now and picked up a bowl of grilled rice.
Seeing this, Yin Xun smiled and said, “Don’t just eat. There’s turtle soup over there. Do you want to eat it?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded fiercely, “I want to eat.”
He then handed the bowl to Yin Xun, but before he could speak, Yin Xun said, “Help yourself.”
Yin Xun, your uncle!
She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to drink turtle soup with her years of eating experience! Bai Junzhuo grasped the spoon angrily and stared at the only thing left on the table in her eyes that was a ball of colored vegetables … Ah, what should I do? It was as if I really couldn’t find it.
“What’s the matter?” Yin Xun pretended to be ignorant and asked her with concern.
Bai Junzhuo looked at Yin Xun, blinked, and said pitifully, “I can’t see.”
Yin Xun curled his lips and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”
“Mm-hmm.” Bai Junzhuo nodded.
Yin Xun looked at her with his chin on his back and asked doubtfully, “Didn’t you get tough just now? Where’s your unwillingness to admit defeat?”
When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he turned his face and held his chopsticks as he poked at the food. “I tried hard and found that I really couldn’t do it,” Bai Junzhuo said.
Yin Xun smiled and said, “Please, I’ll help you if you beg me.”
When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he suddenly remembered the classic line in the action movie, “Please, I’ll give it to you if you beg me.”
She also found that she had been led by his nose since just now. Bai Junzhuo pretended to be angry and placed the bowl heavily on the table. He said with a bulging face, “I’m angry. I won’t eat anymore.”
Yin Xun stopped when he saw that it was good, so he coaxed her and said, “Don’t be angry. I won’t bully you anymore. Eat.”
“You still know that you bullied me?” Bai Junzhuo looked at him angrily. “I’m really angry. It’s useless for you to coax me.”
Yin Xun sighed helplessly, “Then I’ll order someone to take the food away.”
When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he glared at her. This was intentional, absolutely intentional. But don’t think that Bai Junzhuo is such an easy person to bully. She won’t lower her head just for a table full of food. Who hasn’t eaten a few meals of snail braised elbow flower, baby pigeon turtle soup, shredded silver ear meat, mandarin duck fish head …
As the ancients said, if she didn’t eat the food that came with lamentation, a gentleman wouldn’t bow down for five battles of rice, and her might couldn’t be surrendered. She, Bai Junzhuo, wouldn’t bow her head to him even if she was starving to death and greedy to death!
After a painful thought struggle, Bai Jun exhaled and said, “No, I’m not angry anymore.”
Yin Xun glanced at her indifferently. “Do you dare to do it next time?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head repeatedly, “I don’t dare anymore.”
Yin Xun patted her head with satisfaction, scooped up a spoonful of warm turtle soup and sent it to her lips. “Open your mouth,” he said softly.
Bai Jun’s face turned red again, and he bit the spoon slightly.
Yin Xun immediately felt that it would be good for her to be blind once in a while.
After eating sweetly, it was almost midnight and they fell asleep.
The next morning, Lu Kang, who had been investigating all night, took advantage of the morning sun to enter the palace. He saw Yin Xun, who had just woken up, and said anxiously, “Master, this subordinate probably already knows who caused the plague, but he still needs one last piece of evidence.”
